Homemade Gift Idea: DIY Conversation Heart–Flavored Vodka!

/ Friday, February 1, 2013

We've all been drunk on love before. Here's your chance to share the sensation with special someone: Turn conversation heart
candies into flavored vodka in just 15 minutes! The result is a sweet
(pastel-colored!) cordial that's great for gifting or drinking in your
skivvies. Separate the hearts by color before soaking, this way you can
really appreciate all of the different hues and flavors. Do you know
what flavors Brach's includes in the classic conversation heart mix? I had
no idea! Sweet mint, cherry, grape, apple and banana. Drink 'em
straight or mix with ice and tonic water for a festive cocktail.CONVERSATION HEART–FLAVORED VODKA
MAKES: about 3 cups vodka

1 bag conversation hearts (about 160)
3 to 4 cups vodka

Separate the conversation hearts by color. For each color, put hearts
and vodka (about 1/2 cup for every 20 hearts or 1 cup for every 40 hearts) in a clean water bottle or
other resealable plastic container. Let soak 15 minutes, shaking
vigorously every few minutes, until the hearts are mostly dissolves
and the vodka is flavored/colored. Strain into jars or bottles.Fun fact: Here's how the colors in my Brach's conversation heart bag were distributed...
